textile mill
Cloth production facility
A textile mill is a factory where fibers such as cotton, wool, or synthetic materials are processed into thread, yarn, or fabric.
These mills house machinery for spinning, weaving, or knitting, and historically powered the Industrial Revolution as centers of mass production.
The old textile mill has been converted into apartments.
The term often evokes images of 19th-century industrial towns built around water-powered or steam-driven facilities.
